Goa–Pune SpiceJet flight SG1080 faced a mid-air scare on July 1, 2025, after a cosmetic interior window frame came loose, alarming passengers. The non-structural plastic trim and shutter detached, exposing insulation material, though the main outer window pane remained intact.
There was no impact on cabin pressurisation or passenger safety. The issue was fixed after landing in Pune as per maintenance protocol. While technically safe, the incident triggered panic onboard, with videos going viral online.
SpiceJet confirmed the event involved only a cosmetic fitting, not the structural window.
